Theclip may also beof other shape'than 0 The clip as shown on the drawingisobtained shown in the 'drawing,-provided it is-shaped in such a mannerthat the filing pin engages with the oscillatable clip and the clip canbe automatically pushed back by the tickets to be filed. In the form ofconstruction shown, the clip is shaped so that it can be alsoautomatically pushed back by the tickets being removed.

It is also possible to suspend the ticket file. In this instance asuspension plate is used instead oi the base plate. From this suspensionplate a horizontal arm 4 projects for carrying the clip 6. The filingpin 2 projects from the suspension plate in the same plane as thehorizontal arm 4 and is brought by suitably bending vertically under theclip.

We claim:

1. A ticket file comprising in combination an upwardly projecting filingpin, a vertical rod at some distance from said filing pin bent at theupperend to form a horizontal arm extending above the point of thefiling pin, i

and a clip composed of two plates, oscillatably suspended from saidhorizontal. arm adapted to cover the point of said filing pin.

2. A ticket file, comprising in combination an upwardly projectingfiling pin, a vertical rod at some distance from said filing pin bent atthe upper end to form a horizontal arm above the point of said filingpin, and a clip oscillatably suspended on said horizontal arm at adistance in front of the extended centre axis of said filing pin, saidclip composed of two plates, 2. back connecting said two plates the onewith the other forming a stop adapted to bear against the side of saidpin situated between said plates and thereby preventing said cliposcillating towards one side.

' 3. A ticket file, comprising in combination an upwardly projectingfiling pin, a vertical rod at some distance from said filing pin bent atthe upper end to form a horizontal arm extending over the point of saidfiling pin, a clip suspended on said horizontal arm at a distance infront of the axis of said filing pin said clip composed oftwo platescurved at the lower edges and a back connecting said two plates adaptedto bear against the side of said filing pin when said clip is in thecovering position.

4. A ticket file, comprising in combination an upwardly projectingfiling pin,- a vertical rod at some distance from said filing pin bentat the upper end to form a horizontal arm exv tending above the point ofsaid filing pin, a

clip suspended on said horizontal arm at a distance in front of theextended axis of said filing pin said clip composed of two plates withouter edges curved adapted to be engagedby the tickets as they are filedto deflect the clip, a back plate connectingsaid two plates adapted tolimit the oscillating movementof said clip in bearing in the coveringposition against the point of said filing pin, a handle on said clip,and a clamp on said clip adapted to hold said clip in raised position.

5. A ticket file, comprising in combination an upwardly projectingfiling pin, a Vertical rod at some distance from said filing pin bent atthe upper end to form a horizontal arm extending above the point of saidfiling pin, a clip suspended on said horizontal arm at a distance infront of the axis of said filing pin said clip composed of two plateshaving each an outwardly bulged portion, and a back connecting saidplates and adapted to limit the oscillating movement of saidclip, aportion of the outer edges of said plates curved and adapted to beengaged by the tickets as they are filed to deflect the clip, a handlefor oscillating said clip, and a clamp for holding said clip in raisedposition.
